[hibernate-dev] public (and free) CI service

http://travis-ci.org/ I played this in this weekend, and it looks very interesting, and I think maybe we can use this as a smoke test environment. pros: 1. integrated with github, very simple to set up, the build is triggered by every commit, so it is more like a CI than what we have atm. 2. DB support ( mysql / postgresql / mongo, for OGM ) 3. public accessible 4. status image (http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/status-images/) 5. matrix support ( it seems have some bugs with this, I tried to set up H2 / MySQL / PostgreSQL matrix for hibernate-orm, but the build finishes successfully, which it should not :) cons: 1. not stable ( alpha stage ) 2. limited configuration ( linux, jdk6 only) 3. junit report not available ( no way to check the failing test stacktrace / report ) if you're interested in this, you can take a look of my set up http://travis-ci.org/#!/stliu/hibernate-orm https://github.com/stliu/hibernate-orm/blob/master/.travis.yml http://travis-ci.org/#!/stliu/hibernate-validator https://github.com/stliu/hibernate-validator/tree/travis https://github.com/stliu/hibernate-validator/blob/travis/.travis.yml the ".travis.yml" is the key. ------------------------- Best Regards, Strong Liu <stliu at hibernate.org> http://about.me/stliu/bio
